"Ever
since the Garry Shandling show in the 80s, it was clear that the man is a
genius" "unrestrained swearing adds to
the realism of this spoof documentary about a chat show"

The Larry Sanders Show with Garry Shandling and Rip Torn |
Television sitcom about a chat-show host. Goes
'behind-the-scenes' to see Larry's humorous small talk with guests and
producers.
Review
In The Larry Sanders Show Garry Shandling is Larry
Sanders, host of a fictitious chat show. But the real The Larry Sanders
Show was alongside Sienfeld, one of the great cult
successes of American TV. Nominally a sitcom, the naturalistic
acting, uncensored strong language and absence of canned laughter lend the
show a distinctive pseudo-documentary feel, as every week some of the top
names in US entertainment appear as themselves. The viewer can't help but
wonder just how much these celebrities are for real, and how much they are
having us on when, for example, Billy Crystal seems so mercenary about
using the episode "The Talk Show" to plug his movie, Mr Saturday
Night. Other guests on the seven episodes of this DVD include Dana
Carvey ("The Guest Host"), Alex Baldwin ("The List"), Robin Williams
("Montana"), Henry Winkler ("Hank's Sex Tape"), Courtney Cox ("Larry's
Big Idea") and Brett Butler ("I Was a Teenage Lesbian"--a bonus episode
exclusive to DVD).
